It was when Fukushima happened because of the EArthquake and Tsunami there.
What crowdsourcing was in this case was asking people to buy Geiger counters (online or any way that they could, then testing Air and Ground and Water and food for radiation and then to publish their findings online in order to better protect themselves and others with their findings.
At that time neither the Japanese Government or the U.S. government was very helpful during the meltdowns at Fukushima so good information regarding food and drinking water especially was non-existent. So, in order to better protect themselves people needed to do something like this to better protect themselves from especially Thyroid Cancer caused by too much radiation that you breathed or ate or earth that you had touched or water that you were drinking.
As it was my dentist at the time had a daughter who was in Japan teaching English there and she got Thyroid Cancer from the radiation there. However, she survived this and later moved to Hawaii after her year of teaching there. So, she completely recovered from this. However, many did not recover from whatever the radiation did to them various places so they died because of Fukushima Nuclear power plant from the radiation loosed by the Meltdowns then.
